These few words were like lightning that struck Mayor Solloway and his wife.


    ‘She is the richest man in Hatchbay, Wyatt Thompson’s daughter?’


    “Are you really Chairman Thompson’s daughter?!” Mayor Solloway was surprised and kept looking


    at Be.


    Steven coughed lightly and thought, ‘Wow, most people show off their wealth with jewelry, but Ms. Be


    uses her father.’


    “Yes. You can ask the Salvadors to confirm this.”


    Be smiled brighter. “I’ve had some dealings with Salvador Corporation, so they can verify my


    identity.”


    Justin’s eyes darkened as he stared at her.


    Be did not even want to mention that they were “familiar ” with each other, as if they were mere


    business rivals.


    “Chairman Salvador, Justin, you’re acquainted with Ms. Thompson?”


    Mayor Solloway dabbled in politics, so when he heard that Be was Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, his


    tone became more earnest. “I’m sorry that I didn’t recognize you.


    Then he immediately shook hands with Be.


    “Mayor Solloway, am I qualified to discuss this project with you in my current capacity?” Be still had a


    smile on her face, but she had an oppressive gaze.


    Mayor Solloway was stunned.


    He felt that, although Be was young, she was just as powerful as Wyatt. Thus, he dared not look


    down on her.


    Justin took a deep breath and secretly clenched his fists. “This woman is now taking advantage of the


    fact that she is Wyatt Thompson’s daughter so that she can act recklessly, huh? Does she think that


    business is child’s y and she can just step in anytime she pleases?’


    “Ms. Thompson, we are very happy to see you here. But Mayor Solloway and I have to talk about


    something important today. This information is not something an outsider like you is privy to. You can’t


    participate in it either, so will you please give us some privacy?” Gregory maintained a kind smile on his


    face, but his eyes were cold and hostile.


    Bethany was furious. She wanted to step forward, but Shannon grabbed her.


    Shannon thought, ‘Be is overestimating herself. My husband will get rid of her without needing me to


    step in.’


    “Mr. Salvador, I know that you want to talk about business. If it weren’t for the Baxim project, I wouldn’t


    be here either.”


    Be raised her eyebrows without changing her expression. “Also, why can’t I participate? In terms of


    resources and financial strength, KS Group is not at all inferior to Salvador Corporation. We can handle


    any projects that you can, too. It’s always better to have more choices. Don’t you think that Mayor


    Solloway deserves to have another option?”


    Mayor Solloway was startled. “This girl came prepared!’


    Gregory and Shannon looked gloomy at the moment.


    “Ms. Thompson.”


    Justin, who had been silent all this time, took two steps forward and towered over Be. “Salvador


    Corporation has already reached a consensus with Mayor Solloway. We have discussed all aspects of


    the project and met the standards for Baxim’s development. Don’t you think you’re viting the rules of


    the business and causing unnecessary trouble if you step in to steal our project at this time?”


    Be raised her beautiful face and blinked her bright eyes with a smile. “Steal your project? You’re


    right. That is exactly what I’m doing.”


    “Be!” Justin’s pupils shrank, and his teeth clenched.


    “But I don’t think that I’m viting the rules or causing unnecessary trouble.”


    Be took a step back, away from the shadow he cast over her, and distanced herself from him. “The


    rules are always made by the winners. If you have already signed the contract, then I am indeed


    making unnecessary trouble. But right now, you haven’t signed a contract with Mayor Solloway, so who


    makes the rules this time is still up in the air.”

    Justin narrowed his eyes. He was rendered speechless.


    Be was right. Before signing the contract, everything was subject to change. Over the years, Justin


    believed in this unspoken rule and had destroyed countless opponents in the market without fail.


    However, he never imagined that he would be the one encountering such a hurdle this time.


    His opponent was also his ex-wife.


    “Ms. Thompson, I don’t think Mayor Solloway will cooperate with


    you.”


    Shannon could not stand Be’s arrogant attitude and said with a smile, “Mayor Solloway and our


    family have been friends for many years. We have always maintained a good cooperative rtionship


    as well, so this isn’t something that can be easily overridden by most people.”
